Meet the Woman Helping Nature Heal Itself Across Britain
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

📰 The quick summary: Sara King coordinates the Rewilding Network in Britain, connecting landowners and conservationists who are successfully restoring ecosystems and seeing wildlife return naturally without human interference.
📈 One key stat: The Knepp Estate in Sussex now hosts the UK’s largest colony of purple emperor butterflies after 25 years of rewilding, challenging traditional beliefs about these butterflies preferring woodland habitats.
💬 One key quote: “Even in Britain, one of the most nature-depleted countries, if we give nature the space and the conditions it needs, and a little bit of a helping hand, it can bounce back. That’s something to be hopeful about.”
1️⃣ The big picture: Sara King works as a rewilding manager at Rewilding Britain, where she coordinates the Rewilding Network and advises landowners on restoring natural ecosystems. Her career path shifted after witnessing how beavers created complex wetlands more effectively than human engineering could accomplish. Now she helps connect rewilding pioneers across the country, supporting projects that allow nature to lead the restoration process rather than humans controlling it. These efforts are yielding surprising ecological discoveries, such as purple emperor butterflies thriving in scrubland rather than their traditionally assumed woodland habitat.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: Nature shows remarkable resilience when given proper space and minimal intervention, as evidenced by numerous successful rewilding projects across Britain. Species return and create dynamic landscapes naturally, challenging previous ecological assumptions and expanding our understanding of wildlife behavior. The rewilding movement continues gaining momentum, offering a practical solution to ecological degradation and serving as an antidote to eco-anxiety. Beyond environmental benefits, these restored natural spaces transform human wellbeing through community engagement programs, reconnecting people with thriving ecosystems.
3️⃣ What’s next: King continues supporting landowners and managers across Britain, providing practical advice on rewilding their land. The Rewilding Network will keep expanding, allowing more knowledge sharing between conservation pioneers. As public interest grows, more community engagement programs will help address eco-anxiety by showing how resilient nature can be when given the chance to recover.
